What version tags can I use in the compose file?

When creating your compose file, you can select the image version you want to install by using the appropriate tag.

Updated over 3 weeks ago

At the top of your compose file you will see the image entry - the tag in the sample compose file will always the latest version of a major release (e.g. v9.1, v9.2, v9.3).

services:
    edgevis-encoder:
        image: digitalbarriers/evvr:9.1-latest

Router users - minor differences
​
Users using a router need to add -lite-arm64 to the end of the tag.

For example digitalbarriers/evvr:9.1-latest-lite-arm64.

You can use the following tags to specify which version to install:

  • The latest minor version of a specific major release (e.g. the latest version v9.1) using the following syntax:
    ​ image: digitalbarriers/evvr:9.X-latest
    ​

    For example;
    ​ image: digitalbarriers/evvr:9.1-latest
    ​

    Will install the latest version v9.1, but not v9.2 when it is released. When a new minor patch version is released, you do not have to edit your compose file, but can upgrade using a docker compose pull, then docker compose up -d command.
    ​

  • A specific version (e.g. v9.1.1) using the following syntax:
    ​ image: digitalbarriers/evvr:9.X.Y
    ​

    For example;
    ​ image: digitalbarriers/evvr:9.1.1
    ​

    Will always install v9.1.1, even if newer versions are available. However, you will have to edit your compose file for every released version to update.

What defines a major release and a minor release?

A major release introduces new features, new options, and potentially specific actions to upgrade from an earlier release. You will always have to edit your compose file to upgrade from an earlier major release to a newer major release (e.g. to upgrade from v9.1.4 to v9.2.0).

A minor release is the latest patch on a major version. There will be no breaking configuration changes or features when upgrading from an earlier version of the same major release (e.g. upgrading from v9.1.2 to v9.1.3).
